Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is the word “creation” in the saying of Allah the Exalted[Al-Qamar 54:49] to be taken at its apparent meaning, or does it mean “We made it”?
Answer:
[Al-Qamar 54:49] The meaning of creation is measurement; its meaning is measurement. So Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, has measured all things, and He created them in eternity, in eternity, and He wrote them in the Preserved Tablet. As for the occurrence of a thing, the occurrence of a thing, and the existence of a thing, that is for every thing at the time Allah willed for it. So when its time comes, Allah commands it in accordance with the prior divine decree and destiny. When its time comes, Allah commands it by saying “Be,” and it is. Yes.
